Looking for a meaningful way to keep students engaged in reading—at the end of the year or really any time? In this episode, I’m sharing how student-led book talks can build confidence, spark authentic reading conversations, and create a classroom culture where students want to read. You’ll learn how I structure book talks to keep things low-stress and flexible, how they differ from traditional book reports and book clubs, and how to handle common challenges like unfinished books or off-track readers. Whether you're wrapping up the year or starting fresh, this episode will help you make book talks a powerful part of your reading routine.
